Everything You Ever Wanted To Know About The PRP Facial

The PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma) facial, also commonly referred to as the blood facial or the vampire facial, is the thing that complexion dreams are made of. I recently tried the Diamond Combo PRP & Microneedling treatment with world-renowned plastic surgeon, Dr. Jason Diamond, who has worked his magic on the faces of celebrities like Kourtney Kardashian, Kim Kardashian West, and Kate Upton.
The first step is sitting with numbing cream on your face for about 30 minutes. It looks uncharacteristically like a face full of jiz, but once the numbing actually takes effect, it?s kind of like your face is on a pain killer – all tingly and that feeling of everything?s gonna be alright.
Next, a nurse withdrawals blood. This is like every other blood withdrawal, so if you?re scared of needles (or blood), this part?s gonna bum you out. It?s only two vials? you can do it!
Then the nurse takes the blood and puts it into a centrifuge where it?s spun, separating the red blood cells from the plasma. The plasma is extracted and applied topically to the skin. It can also be injected, where it works more powerfully to heal, repair, and restore the skin.
The key to PRP facial is the microneedling roller, which is basically a roller with thousands of tiny needles on it. The needles create even tinier punctures in the skin that the human eye can?t even detect. These micro holes allow the platelets to absorb deeper into the skin, while also causing trauma to the skin, which, in turn, creates more collagen (the Holy Grail of anti-aging). I’m not going to lie: even with the numbing cream, the microneedling roller felt like tiny, aggressive cat scratches all over my face. It goes rather quickly so it is manageable, but it’s definitely not one of those blissful facials. The real pain, though, comes courtesy of the plasma – now transferred into syringes – being injected into the under-eye area (this is the only part of my face that Dr. Diamond did injections, as my main concern was skin tone and acne, and that is best treated with the microderm/ topical application of plasma combo. But, the plasma can be injected into every area of your face… I repeat, everywhere.). How can I explain the feeling of having a needle puncture that delicate eye area" Put it this way, I was crying without actually crying. Actual tears (but I wasn’t sad. WTF). Injecting plasma into the under-eye area helps with dark circles, fine lines, and bags. Uh, yes, please. And more of that, thanks. As the adage goes: “there’s no pleasure without pain.” It was quick, thankfully. The things we do for beauty. Sheesh.
Post-microneedling, the syringes of plasma that are not injected into your skin are then dispersed topically onto the face, and lightly massaged in so that the plasma travels down those tiny punctured holes and into the deepest layers of the skin. My blood (aka, the plasma) felt cool and soothing, very liquidy, and looked like a...
